Bricscad offers a Linux version of their Intellicad based products.

See http://www.bricscad.com

 From the newsgroups I get that this version (Windows) of Intellicad is
(once again ...) a big leap in terms of compatibility. But I guess there
are as many requirements for AutoCAD compatibility as there are  
companies
using it.

About the Mac mini:

You can stick with the base model but you should increase the memory
to at least 512 MB (base for the smallest mini was 256 MB, don't know
where it's now).

You could always bribe Greg to add the new features to the Linux
version of Photosphere, too.
